Board of Directors

At the Community Foundation, we’re governed by a board of directors as diverse as our community. Our officers and directors are chosen for their extensive knowledge of the community’s educational, cultural, civic and charitable needs.  Directors serve on a volunteer basis and meet to discuss community issues, set policy, oversee investments and make final decisions on grants.
